Board reviews demolition estimates for Henry R. property and structures behind Southern Central Middle School
Summary
District staff presented contractor estimates to survey for asbestos and demolish structures at the Henry R. property and behind Southern Central Middle School: $21,650 for Henry R. and $11,440 for the two school-adjacent structures.
The Sullivan County Board of Education reviewed contractor estimates for asbestos surveys and demolition of several district-owned structures.
A contractor who inspected the properties provided a written quote. The contractor’s estimate to survey for asbestos and then demolish and remove the house, garage and associated buildings on the Henry R. property was $21,650. The contractor estimated $11,440 to survey and demolish two structures located behind Southern Central Middle School; staff said those two structures could be demolished separately or grouped with the Henry R. work.
Board members discussed whether the district should proceed with just the Southern Central structures, proceed with both sites, or consider entertaining offers on the Henry R. property. One board member noted the district previously planned to retain the property and suggested demolishing hazardous structures to avoid safety hazards while ownership is retained.
No final approval or contract award for demolitions was recorded in the transcript excerpt. Staff said the board could accept the demolition quotes, take no action, or consider offers on the property, and indicated they would return with a recommendation when the board was ready to decide.
The board’s options included proceeding immediately with demolition at the school-adjacent structures to remove safety hazards and delaying or separately considering the Henry R. property.
